Abstract

A magnetic hydrodynamic (MHD) mixed convection of an incompressible viscoelastic fluid over a stretching sheet with ohmic dissipation is studied. The buoyant effect and the electric number E1 couple with magnetic parameter M to represent the dominance of the ohmic effect are presented in governing equations which is the main contribution by this study. The similarity transformation, the finitedifference method have been used to analyze the present problem. The numerical solutions of the flow velocity distributions, temperature profiles and the important wall unknown values of f″(0) and θ′(0) are carried out.
